Merritt Wever is not going to get in for a cancelled show that bombed at the Emmys lol.

…Wever and Kravitz lol. High Fidelity was cancelled this week.

Also don’t think both Ratched and Lovecraft Country makes Drama Series. Netflix is not getting 3 Drama Series nods here and I don’t see the Globes snubbing Ozark and The Crown.

Rosamund Pike’s Amazon series, The Wheel of Time started filming September 2019. Production was interrupted in March 2020 in Prague…so 6 months of filming done, if filming resumes soon, I’m guessing it can premiere in the Winter/Spring. Probablt more Globes-fare than Emmys though. They LOVE Ms. Pike.

But what about Blue Sky and Still Alice? It may be apples and oranges, but it seems like a valid enough comparison point to me.

I think you’re creating scenarios and narratives that are in line with who you want to win. It’s good to have that.

This didn’t stop Patricia Arquette and Ben Whishaw last year.

Those wins were in Supporting. Lead wins tend to go to actors who had their show nominated.

Which is why I believe the race is between Irons and Mescal. Hoping for Mescal (and he fits the mold of winners we had in the last 3 years), however, that Normal People couldn’t get into Series gives me doubts…which is why I am predicting Irons in a Watchmen sweep (he honestly wouldn’t be such a bad winner as many may think). His show is the frontrunner and the only Series nominated among the nominees (disregarding Hugh Jackman, because we haven’t had an actor win for a TV Movie since like 2013?).

I guess Pope could win, because his show got 4 acting nods which could indicate support from the acting branch and he is a beloved Broadway actor (ala Billy Porter) making a switch to TV, and he has baity material. But his show didn’t get nominated.

Ruffalo I have in 5th. He would be the first nominee to win Lead Actor without a Series/Movie nom since Andre Braugher in 2006…and the first winner who is a SOLE nominee (no below or above the line noms) for their Series/Movie since John Gielgud for Summer’s Lease in 1991 … I doubt Ruffalo has that much passion.

This Extraordinary Being is the single most creative, most brilliant, most genius episode of TV of this past Emmy season. I will be damned if it loses directing.

Ugh YES. That episode is probably the best I have seen in the last decade. However the director’s branch seem to love episodes like this that are seen as standout, groundbreaking etc, but never seem to reward them? I mean, I kinda see This Extraordinary Being as a Teddy Perkins and ronny/lily situation where the most buzzed about episode got the Directing nod, but not the win, in favour of a more populist choice/most directed episode. Kassell is helped by the fact that she competed at DGA against- and won over Stephen Williams…and Kassell’s episode is the very first of the season. Would love for Williams to win, but man Kassell was the behind-the-scenes MVP. (And if Kassell wins, I’ll just pretend it is for A God Walks Into Abar)

Ugh YES! Better Call Saul should have dominated just like Succession. But hoping Emmy voters correct their mistake for the final season

Alsoz awarding Blanchett over 3 black women + breakout performer would be problematic as hell. If there is a year Cate wouldn’t want to win, this is it.

The three acting snubs for Better Call Saul still hurts. Like, even though Esposito got nominated (and I predicted him) , one would have thought that he was least likely to get in. Like how do you watch the season and think “I don’t like their creative choices here” like….this was the BEST season of the show! Seehorn, Odenkirk and Banks were WORTHY…And I usually hated Banks’ namecheck nods for a few seasons, but the season he actually slayed, he gets snubbed. #TheEmmysAreOverParty

Musical for Limited Series: Watchmen

My vote for “Insecure” might be more of a hope-diction because its been stellar for its entire run. That and “The Americans” have had the best music supervision I’ve ever seen in a series. It’s terrible how Maisel has a stronghold on that category; not when there are random ’70s and ’80s songs put in the show despite the ’60s time period.

Also Ludwig Goransson’s score for The Mandalorian is just as iconic as his Black Panther score. It deserves all the awards.

Insecure is highkey overdue for that win tbh

And if older voters blinked they could have clicked on American Son. Kerry lowkey overcame cancelling herself out too. Love that for her

Is Esposito winning based on the “We did Better Call Saul dirty and he has never won for an iconic role” narrative + vote splitting?
